Yes, sorry, I was going to add some explanations but forgot. They 
go in chronological order and going from 200 to 487 was bad (the 
new tree data structure added a lot of overhead, which was not 
yet taken advantage of). The numbers represent seconds for 200 
reduction steps for reducing my test program.
